Multiples of 9

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

In math, multiples are the products we get while multiplying a number with other numbers. Multiples play a key role in construction and design, counting groups of items, sharing resources equally, and managing time effectively. In this topic, we will learn the essential concepts of multiples of 9.

What are the Multiples of 9?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 9. Multiples of 9 are the numbers you get when you multiply 9 by any whole number, along with zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself.

 

In multiplication, a multiple of 9 can be denoted as 9 × n, where ‘n’ represents any whole number (0, 1, 2, 3,…). So, we can summarize that:

 

Multiple of a number = Number × Any whole number

 

For example, multiplying 9 × 1 will give us 9 as the product. Multiples of 9 will be larger or equal to 9.

List of First 20 Multiples of 9

Multiples of 9 include the products of 9 and an integer. Multiples of 9 are divisible by 9 evenly. The first few multiples of 9 are given below:

 

TABLE OF 9 (1-10)

9 x 1 = 9

9 x 6 = 54

9 x 2 = 18

9 x 7 = 63

9 x 3 = 27

9 x 8 = 72

9 x 4 = 36

9 x 9 = 81

9 x 5 = 45

9 x 10 = 90

 

TABLE OF 9 (11-20)

9 x 11 = 99

9 x 16 = 144

9 x 12 = 108

9 x 17 = 153

9 x 13 = 117

9 x 18 = 162

9 x 14 = 126

9 x 19 = 171

9 x 15 = 135

9 x 20 = 180

 

Now, we know the first few multiples of 9. They are 0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90,...

Operations with Multiples of 9

Understanding the multiples of 9 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 9, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

 

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 9:


9, 18, 27, 36, and 45 are the first five multiples of 9. When multiplying 9 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products. So, the sum of these multiples is:


9 + 18 + 27 + 36 + 45 = 135


When we add the first 5 multiples of 9, the answer will be 135.

 

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 9:


While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 9, 18, 27, 36, and 45 are the first five multiples of 9. So, let us calculate it as given below:


9 - 18 = -9
-9 - 27 = -36
-36 - 36 = -72
-72 - 45 = -117


Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 9 is -117.

 

Average of first 5 Multiples of 9:


To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 9, and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Because there are 5 multiples presented in the calculation. Averaging helps us to understand the concepts of central tendencies and other values. We know the sum of the first 5 multiples of 9 is 135.


9 + 18 + 27 + 36 + 45 = 135


Next, divide the sum by 5:


135 ÷ 5 = 27


27 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 9.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 9:


The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 9 include: 9, 18, 27, 36, and 45. Now, the product of these numbers is:


9 × 18 × 27 × 36 × 45 = 10,648,320


The product of the first 5 multiples of 9 is 10,648,320.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 9:


While we perform division, we get to know how many times 9 can fit into each of the given multiples. 9, 18, 27, 36, and 45 are the first 5 multiples of 9.


9 ÷ 9 = 1
18 ÷ 9 = 2
27 ÷ 9 = 3
36 ÷ 9 = 4
45 ÷ 9 = 5    


The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 9 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Sometimes, students get confused between the multiples and factors of 9. A simple trick to differentiate between the two is to remember that multiples are the products of multiplication, while factors are the divisors of the number. Multiples of 9 refer to the products we get while multiplying 9 with other numbers. For example, multiples of 9 include 0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90….


The factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9. When 9 is divided by 1, 3, and 9, the remainder will be zero. These are the factors of 9 meaning that these numbers can divide 9 without any remainder. 

 

Factors of 9:


9 ÷ 1 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
9 ÷ 9 = 1

Multiples of 9 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Liam and his friends are preparing gift bags for a charity event. Each gift bag contains 9 items. If they prepare gift bags for 6 events, how many items will they have used in total?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

54 items  

Explanation

Each event requires 9 items per gift bag. To find the total number of items used for 6 events, multiply 9 by 6.

 

Items per event = 9  


Number of events = 6  

 

9 × 6 = 54  

 

They will have used 54 items in total.

Problem 2

Alice, Ben, and Claire are stacking boxes in a storehouse in the order of the first three multiples of 9. How many boxes did each of them stack based on this series of the first three multiples of 9?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The first three multiples of 9 are 9, 18, and 27. Alice stacked 9 boxes. Ben and Claire stacked 18 and 27 boxes respectively.

Explanation

Once we identify the first three multiples of 9, they are:

 

9 × 1 = 9  
9 × 2 = 18  
9 × 3 = 27  

 

Hence, Alice stacked 9 boxes. Ben and Claire stacked 18 and 27 boxes.

Problem 3

In Green Valley School, there are 9 sports teams. Each team consists of 9 players. How many players are there in total across all teams?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

81 players  

Explanation

To find the total number of players, we need to calculate the product of the number of teams and the number of players in each team.

 

Number of teams = 9  


Number of players in each team = 9  

 

9 × 9 = 81  

 

Therefore, there are a total of 81 players across all teams.

Problem 4

Mia has a collection of marbles organized in trays. She has 4 trays, and each tray holds 9 marbles. How many marbles does she have in total?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

36 marbles  

Explanation

To find the total number of marbles Mia has, multiply the number of trays by the number of marbles in each tray.

 

Number of trays = 4  


Number of marbles in each tray = 9  

 

4 × 9 = 36

 

So, there are 36 marbles in total.

Problem 5

Kevin is setting up a display of action figures. He places 9 figures on the first shelf, 18 figures on the second shelf, and 27 figures on the third shelf. How many figures are there on all three shelves?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

54 figures  
 

Explanation

The first shelf has 9 figures, the second has 18, and the third has 27. To find the total number of figures:

 

9 + 18 + 27 = 54  

 

Therefore, there are a total of 54 figures on all three shelves.
